Q&A with Michael Schur: Part 1
[During our online chat with Mindy Kaling this past Tuesday, she mentioned an interview with Mike Schur that she read here on OfficeTally. That got me feeling a little nostalgic, so given that we have no new Office to look forward to today, I’m re-posting it here. I’m pretty sure this interview started my undying crush on ‘The Office’ writers. Originally posted July 2007, right before Season 4.]
Michael Schur is one of the veteran writers and co-producers of The Office. He’s written or co-written classic episodes from all three seasons, including The Alliance, Office Olympics, Christmas Party, Valentine’s Day, Branch Closing, Traveling Salesmen, The Return, The Negotiation, and The Job. He also played Dwight’s cousin Mose in the episode ‘Initiation.’
I recently had a series of conversations with Michael about Season 4 scripts, the writing process in general, how he really feels about his fellow writers, and other behind-the-scenes stuff. Enjoy! (I certainly did.)
Mindy Kaling visits the OfficeTally Chat Room
We were super happy to welcome Mindy Kaling to the OfficeTally Chat Room tonight!
Mindy graciously answered fan questions for a full hour — on everything from the letter Pam reads to Michael in ‘Lecture Circuit,’ to her favorite Oscar night fashion, to who’s hottest in the writers’ room. And of course it wouldn’t be an OfficeTally chat without a few spoilers thrown in!
Thanks, Mindy, for an awesome evening!
Here is the full transcript. Continue reading “Mindy Kaling visits the OfficeTally Chat Room”
Kate Flannery cheers the tired masses
From Tallyhead Steph: “Kate Flannery made a very awesome guest appearance at UCLA this past weekend. It was our annual Dance Marathon … in which students fundraise and commit to staying on their feet for 26 straight hours to raise money to help fight pediatric AIDS! It was so great of her to show her support! Here’s the video I took of her speech!”
